beta blockers

I have read in this forum that beta blockers can be used as an anti-depressant, what are some of the drug names, is this a common usage, and how do they work? Thanks

Beta blockers are not used for depression, in fact, often cause depression.

I've been using beta blockers for years now for my hpertension and a good side effect is that it slows down hand tremmors and seems to keep the heat in check when I'm having panic attacks.
